The exchange rate of momentum




From past regret unfolds depression as her parents lay to rest
A low class death, we hold our breath-n hope not to inherit debt
Most their assets got reposed we sold the rest under duress
With not much fetched we take what’s left of our nest egg n then jet
To start over in Alaska. With no sofa or TV set
A lone duet, at home upset wit a new red pregnancy test
A scarce budget of cents to stretch over three or four months of rent
Advertisements become godsends to lump through subsequent events
Employment found at Bering Sea as we both scrounge for food to eat
Annette’s petite heart finely beats now to the sound of easy street
Set for ten weeks apart I reach with open arms our goodbye kiss
Through the hard-yards her once parched lips moistens when my embrace takes grip
With a soft touch of cherished luck, empty stomach n worn out boots
I arrive gut still squeamish but no more nauseous then most recruits
Some what shy but loosely astute, I follow suit with a salute
As the cap toasts us with bad jokes how the backstroke became in use
On this fish boat first to approach was a chap most had called Big Blue
Barely one tooth in use I note when this coot spoke of shrewd untruths
They still issued minute values, acute shrill views I can’t dispute
I catch some room to maneuver through his broken use of words produced
And get excused as lunch is served I go remove a few t-shirts
From out my bag then go converse wit my comrades as we dessert
Our berth n start to all immerse in the vast work that we’d been cast
At first I charge rampart wit brass balls attached blind to the fact past
Staff have collapsed with exhaustion cause they commenced wit no caution
So I retract my first choice-n start to dispense strength in portions
Southern acclaimed revived refineries retain our wage full-time
Salmon’s our aim as I’m assigned to go maintain the content-line
So the desired design for why we’re hired is to acquire
Fish in fixed times for suppliers, through dollar signs we’re inspired
We scrape n grind the seas surface to find substance they can purchase
The nets are hauled and swept of all lifeless n small stock on purpose
Toss the worthless, the rest get kept dispersed n swept to be prepped
We subvert tails, heads-entrails ‘til all that’s left fails likeness
Of the bloodshed that we assailed they are then sent to go collect
Ice contrails. Some details of this aspect leave me upset
Though shaved headless life vacating, some are still asphyxiating
One month slaving, I’ve not bathed in days I’ll call Shay n just take in
What she’s to say by satellite I pray that life has stayed alright
The phone connects, she sounds depressed I need to find what tests my wife
Dear I’ve damaged n lost all that we’ve both got in one shameful shot
A miscarriage from pills I pop, like god boycott our plans for shock
His savage plot has rocked my world our boy or girl guised as blood-clots
In our bath tub my love capsized, I hugged n cried til sunrise stopped
I can’t escape, my wombs been raped consumed by space my minds misshaped
Into a form where all my faith can barely wake with out your face
Now at the stage I’m all alone you must come home or I might take…….
The phone breaks up, I slump disorientated
Sick to my gut a chump irate wit my face cupped-eyes dilated
Dehydrated as my crewmate big blue steps up n slaps my face
The cap awaits to medicate me up with K perhaps in case
I make deadweight so I embrace his invitation n explain
But it’s in vain as they proclaim if we vacate n don’t contain
Our percentage, our wage deflates therefore we can’t ignore our mates
And cuts plates short. I’m too sedated to retort both their debate
So I report back to my babe, my choice disgraced, my voice morose
The phones engaged, unknown transpose of hope to rage breaks n explodes
Weeks before home my mood dampens, each day’s the same no one answers
Cloudy grey skies blanket the heavens while I pray like a mantis
The flat black seas break n transcends like a swan lake of graves dancen
At last Dutch harbor, we descend and then go collect our finances
I charge to step through my front door as this vulgar odor outpours
Surpass the stench to find a corpse my wife stretched on the bathroom floor

My wife’s life lost at the cost of four k profit not forgotten
As it’s the price that I supplied for her coffin

Topic: The Cure was her love




WhiteJacqueline the Stripper in a Box

"Strip down," said a voice in her head.

Strip down your superficiality, its covering up your true self.

Strip down, if that's what it takes for you to be free.


She stands before a forzen glass
with a body embodied by numbers but she doesn't know the math.
Most don't ask why she chose this path
which seperates her from the men she keeps holding back.
She tries to peak through the bolden cracks
but there's screws nailed in to close the gap
so she focuses on her golden rack in order to control her craft.
Her stolen past only emboldens her to keep stripping
she had a father who kept repeating to her that she's in need of a whipping.
The place her soul is in has edges that are razor thin
and she has an inner child but not enough room to raiser her in.
If she's lucky her psyche will likely erase her sins
but girls like her always wind up in a dangerous spin
and end up being a stranger in their changing skin.
She strips down her insecurities, afraid of her own imperfect self
and checks into her own imprisonment and cell that's not too distant from hell.
But she doesn't bare down to for tips,
plus she's too scared now to quit.
And the square clowns who sit and stare down at her tits
are stunned when they see the scrapes in and around her ribs.
But for the most part she hides her scars well
and has a body that can play mozart with bar bells.


She's a dark angel in hell on earth with a heart of desire
and her body is a cage that was made to dance around an arcade fire.
She has a history of funerals, her brother Jack dealt his own fate in his hands
and her mother went where no cars go
down by the lake where she drowned herself in the waist side of the lands.
All her life she knew there was plenty to be done
but this ace queen got hit until the age of twenty one.
She's bleeding from the inside, vomiting the pride she once swallowed
and to make room for men in her body she's making her stomach hallow.
In her family she was the rock that her brother skipped
but she sank in the waters long before her mother did.
Now, everytime she turns the corner there's always another strip.
The cure is her love but her symptom is that she can't discover it.
So she uncovers herself in the belief that others can see her love
she's an ice in a body of sea that always sees to shove
and she believes this will free her up
but all it takes is two hits for men to see her bluff.
Jacqueline was destined to reveal herself, her skin is her favorite suit
she was born stripped in this world and that's her naked truth.

Harvest, your subject of a family that's not only going through moments of poverty, but lives on a boat is pretty creative conceptually, but your details were hard to get into because some of the ways your worded things were weird to read. Your lines were extremely long as well and made the read kinda long winded. The flow was their with some nice rhymes to keep it moving and you have a lot of interesting twists with the your character and the wife though. Still needs a smoothe approach to develop the concept I think.

Vigil, concept wasn't as fresh and you didn't really have much of a creative ideal to it, but the metaphorical schemes you used were pretty nice. The flow started off good and got into that, but that kinda drifted away in the middle and the content because more the focus of the verse. the life of a stripper and the way your used your words to diagram the pic was the highlight of this and that was done pretty well.

Vote Vigil

[SacriFICE]

vote: vigil

I had a longer synposis of each verse typed but the board took a shit and I lost it all.

I'll have to break the match down as a whole.

Harvest: Potential is there homie. Your concept was cool and overall an enjoyable read. However your message sort of gets lost in the difficulty to read your verse. It's not the easiest writing to get through as a reader and that hurts you, In audio form this might go over better for me.

Vigil: I had a huge thing explaining why I enjoyed this verse so much... but I dont have time to redo that, so I'll just say, conceptually you turned a not so original idea into a really dope piece to read. You're getting better by leaps and bounds and I continue to enjoy what you write each week.. Keep it up man.

[Got Life?]

Vigil - this piece was emotionless...it didn't really capture the character...it just seemed insanely monotone to me as the piece dragged on...like I understand what you were aiming to do, but you didn't captivate me and allow me to connect /w your character...

Harvest - i didn't really like the progression of this piece...but about 1/2 way through, it actually started coming together really well and it became a decent piece of writing.

vote = Harvest for being more entertaining.
